"But we want this space to operate with respect for the artists, the people of the arts, their collectives, their organizations, their groups, with respect for the residents and professionals of the wider area. We want it to operate safely. We want to "We secure movable and immovable property and of course we want this building to be preserved and restored for future generations. We are talking about the promotion of its historical identity and its function as a place of culture," said Mr. Bakoyannis, among others.
